Farming Australia The backbone of the nation

So many of us feel dependant on the large super markets for our every day needs, rarely stopping to realise that, in fact, we are really depending on those great families, far removed from the cities, the farmers, power generators, earth movers, miners, rail roaders, dam and pipeline constructors and so many other important people out there, who go about their duties for us, largely unnoticed.

Author's brother tries out the brand new Tas two stroke post hole auger driller. Fast and so easy. We were doing it the slave labour way with a ratchet (need ratchet to do bottom holes) brace. Least it goes right way. We had a town guy demo a chain saw. Would'nt cut anything. Pushed harder. No go. Then us 'bushies' found he had the cutting chain on back to front. Easy fixed.Near
